The card is water cooled out of the box, with warranty. It runs cool and quiet and doesn't throttle GPU clock spees like its direct competitor, the Titan Z.
. . The biggest issue is the power consumption but considering it's as fast as 980 SLI at multi-monitor and 4K gaming for nearly HALF the price, this is a moot point. Anyone who is considering 980 SLI or 295X2 should probably wait for Q1 2015 as R9 300 series should launch and we will see stronger competition. Now is a bad time to spend so much $ on either NV or AMD. If you want a stop-gap solution, you could find 2 of nearly the best cool and quiet after-market 290s for $500. Since after-market R9 290 = 290X, this is by far the best bang for the buck in the US right now compared to $660 970 SLI, $650 295X2 or the wallet cringing $1100 980 SLI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080&cm_re=r9_290-_-14-202-080-_-Product 4K and multi-monitor (3x 1080P / 3x 1200P) performance speaks for itself: . . |
it's good card if you are a graphic designer or 3D artist or a game developer, like i said most of games in 3 to 4 years from know will only look the same, unless if you are looking for exclusive games like Star citizen with full setting (even it still use the same graphic shader for the 8th generation games ). Most of games will only look better in powerful GPU interms of Framerates, resolution and anti alisasing and some hd texture, you will be able to see a little diffrent effect utilize for the cards. Its over power card, Single 980 GTX is more then enough.
